Could you point me to a good inexpensive one? They’re basically indestructible right? Most of the cheap ones ($100) I’m seeing are only 4 pounds. I’m 6’6 (2M) and 16 stone so 4 pounds sounds like a cosplay weight. I’m looking for a good weapon to stash about.
>>649526054 pounds is on the heavy side for a flanged mace.
>>64952606>>64952615Gotcha. I mean a 4 lb Indian club for exercise is heavy depending on how you manipulate it, so perhaps that is a good weight for this. I’m assuming I want something that is a single piece of steel? Oddly the majority of maces are sold from India … I’m not inclined to buy something like this from India …

>>64952640Or this if you're allowed to own them in bongland.
>>64952643I’ve been known to traffic in banned instruments.
>>64952605Most melee weapons are 2-6lbs, with certain exceptions such as the really long pikes. One-handed weapons are generally 2-4lbs.The reasoning is quite simple: that's about as much weight as most men can utilize effectively in combat. Any more than that, and either the weapon becomes too "slow" or tires the soldier out too quickly.
>>64952605i got a 10lb lead filled aluminum bat i found at a thrift storeits one of the few weapons i fear, its so god damn powerful
>>64952605Ask yourself why you are retarded when you can get a perfectly serviceable hammer at any decent hardware store.
>>64952783>How it feels to swing the really big hammer you found in your dad's garage
>>64952627While a heavier sledge might help you move a more thoroughly stuck pin or deform steel further per blow, a swift blow from a lighter weapon is just as capable of harming your opponent but is faster, more precise and harder to avoid. Maces suffer from shorter range than swords for the purpose of concentrating their mass, which means they need to be smaller. There's nothing wrong with a wood handled mace, hickory and ash are both great.Something like the Todd Cutler Scandinavian Brass Mace on a nice wood handle would be every bit the weapon of a steel hafted flanged mace, because you'd hit first and control the reach.https://www.kultofathena.com/product/tod-cutler-brass-mace-head-2-9th-to-19th-century-scandinavian-byzantine-rus/
>>64952783harbor freight does have a fairly extensive melee sectionthat 30in bar has a handy shipping weight of 3.5lbsengineering hammers are a nice choice too
>>64952783Less skill needed to kill or cripple a man with a mace. Any side of the weapon lands equally well.

>>64952813Eliminates samurai silently from range
>>64952802If your "skill" level is so bad you can't land the head or the claw of a standard hammer on a man-sized target, you are nothing more than a walking organ donor in the first place.
>>64952858You should fight some drug addicts using only the claw side and report back.
>>64952869I deal with drug addicts every shift at the hospital. Bashing them with a hammer is my fucking wet dream.
>>64952877Very good, ma’am. Stay safe. Stay boosted.
>>64952885Oh, son. You have no idea...
They're actually terrible and made of chinesium or pajeetium. Skallagrim bent his Windlass flanged mace in the very first stress test.
>>64952643Would assume not since they play cricket there.
>>64952800A halligan tool makes for a multitude of usages along with being good for a close range impact device. Practically required for SHTF gear.>>64952821>Lost me mam in a screwdriver incident. Tragic really.
If you cave someones skull in with a mace you're most certainly going to prison. Prosecutors would eat you alive. If you live somewhere that would send you to jail for using a gun to defend yourself the mace is only going to go worse for you.
>>64952783oy, but do you need a measuring tape or a steel ruler?I wanna fuck someone up with a steel ruler
>>64953573>>64952643Hey mate I just used what I had on hand, this oily little bugger was tryin to kill me while I was 'aving me morning tea
>>64952797I can vouch for the Cutler mace, although I don't care for the stock baton.
if you want it because you are into medieval shit, get one. But they are overpriced and they have shit quality. Pic related is much better, estwing ultralight or something like that.
>>64952605Get a collapsible baton. It can be used less lethally but still seriously fuck someone up. You might avoid jail time whereas the mace will certainly be considered a purpose built weapon.
>>64952802if you hit an unarmored man with the side of a hammer you will still fuck him up. And only an actual retard would not be able to properly align a hammer, the handles are made for that.
>>64954167Not armoring the corpse before the cops get there … NGMI
>>64954596Also keep some drugs on hand to sprinkle on him just in case you get a prosecutor trying to make a name for himself.
>>64952643more are sold in ruzzia and Ireland than in the US.
>>64952605Just get a framing hammer from home depot.

>>64955015Not guilty.
>>64952605
It's a cane but is essentially a scepter or a long, light mace
>>64952605Check out the cold steel offering, seems right up your alley.
>>64955818You don’t have the reach Anakin.
>>64952783great taste in hammers anon
>>64953547When my dad would take young me to the local hardware store, I would always make a beeline for the tool aisle just so I could hoist the largest crowbar they had for sale over my head and "Urk Urk UUUUUR!" like a Tusken Raider on meth.Behaving savagely with a melee weapon is blood memory.
>>64953946If you're buying it from KOA, the handle is their retarded asses, not Todd.
>>64952605>I’m seeing are only 4 poundsmedieval maces for taking out guys in plate armour weighed less than half that.heavier is not better. Heavier is slower. Slower = less kinetic energy.
>>64952800DeadOnAnnihiliatorIt should be a war crime to use it in combat.
>>64955015I will take a swinging weapon into the smallest place.
>>64952605https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1014174334?pid=246838Here, go be Irish. Don't forget to put a rubber pad on the bottom so that it gives support while walking around. A good tool is something you can carry with you anywhere you go. I stand at 6'4" myself and this cane's cousin (the walkabout) is perfectly sized for me (if not an inch high). I think you'll like it.now, as for the weight, you're overestimating both what you're capable of and also the standard weights of weapons. four pounds is way too fucking heavy. There are large swords that weigh in at four pounds. The cane I posted is one of the best choices for the weight, I say go with that.Also, it's made out of polymer, so it will flex well before it breaks, and it probably won't break even if a truck runs over it.
>>64957343>>64957496But what if I wanna break the bones of MY enemies … most of them justwear hoodies.
>>64958356Hmm... I recommend a pair of thunder whips.
>>64957496>>64955888Those are way to go. You can walk with it in open, have it on hand when you are inside and it look way better if you just beat attacker with your walking stick, than bashed his head with medival mace.
>>64958415That’s a GoPro gooseneck. How come more medieval weapon reproductions don’t have GoPro mounts? I want the lamentations in 4k 10fps.
>>64952605I have a mace head i bought from Todd, have not put a handle on it yet, maybe i will do it this summer
Make one yourself with a threaded pipe and trailer hitch
>>64952821>mfw the "weapon" on the top left is literally a leg from an old-people shower chairAbsolutely delusional lmao
>>64957366Carl found a way to turn it invisible when he climbed in the escape pod, so it shouldn't be too hard to have it break physics as well.
>>64961846I like this reaction image, can I save it? Please?
>>64957496The good ol’ shillalagh’ll do yuh right laddy. T’aint a petrol huffin’ ragamuffin been born yet won’t drop yer tv after’n good whack from the ol’ blackthorn bludgeoner.
>>64958561The mounr is a weak point. If you bash someone, theres a high chance the mount would deform or the swivel would move around screwing up the direction you wanna record in.
>>64962827Be my guest anon. That's what they're for.
>>64952605inexpensive maces are almost never properly hardened or even made with half decent steel and will deform and bend with any real use
Does it need to be subtle? Any nondescript pipe will do. Maglites are also a usual recommendation.If not, consider the table leg goedendag. All it cost me was pulling it out of my buddy’s scrap.
